Plugable, a leading computer accessories company for both home and work spaces, announces its first Thunderbolt 4 dock (TBT4-UDZ), a powerful docking station that takes full advantage of the benefits Thunderbolt 4 has to offer, during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The company is also launching a USB-C 11-in-1 hub, perfect for getting the most out of a laptop’s USB-C port on-the-go, as well as a new Thunderbolt Certified Thunderbolt 4 240W cable and a USB-IF Certified USB4 240W cable.
Thunderbolt 4 Quad Docking Station
Plugable’s 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Quad Dock (TBT4-UDZ) is powerful, innovative, and reliable. With 100W best-in-class charging, and 16 port expansion, this dock allows power users to get the most out of their laptop.
Leveraging the power of the Intel Goshen Ridge chipset, the TBT4-UDZ provides a variety of connectivity options for additional displays. With two HDMI ports and two DisplayPort ports, users can mix and match monitors to expand up to four 4K 60Hz displays on Windows machines and up to two 4K 60Hz displays on Macs powered by M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
With wired 2.5Gbps Ethernet, a combination audio port, an SD and microSD card reader, and seven total USB ports, this Thunderbolt docking station takes advantage of Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 features.
The TBT4-UDZ is available for pre-order now on Amazon for $299 and will be released on January 17th. Find other purchase sources for bulk, business, and professional users here
USB-C 11-in-1 Hub
The USBC-11IN1E is the latest and greatest in Plugable’s line of USB-C hubs. From a single USB-C port, add up to two 4K 60Hz HDMI displays, three USB 3.0 ports, one USB-C port, an SD and microSD card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5mm audio, and a USB-C pass-through charging port—11 ports in all. Use your laptop’s USB-C power adapter to take advantage of up to 100W USB-C pass-through charging. With smart power provisioning, ensure your connected USB peripherals and laptop get the power they need. The small design and pass-through charging make this an ideal hub for those looking to expand their workstation on-the-go.
The hub is compatible with Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS. However, due to lack of MST support within macOS, Mac users will only be able to use one extra display.
The USBC-11IN1E is available on Amazon for $79 with a $5 coupon. See all purchase sources for bulk, business, and professional users here.
Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 240W EPR Cables
